Our responsibility

We are committed to doing business in a responsible way. This means that we place great emphasis on environmental care, business ethics, human rights and social issues.

This is why we support and protect human rights wherever we can within our sphere of influence. This is also why respect for the individual is fundamental within our organization.

In line with this, we have a long tradition of corporate citizenship. We work together with global organizations, universities and local authorities to support a sustainable development of society. We also encourage local initiatives, sponsorship and volunteer activities in our communities.
